Hey people first off all I would like to say that I recently bought myself a new shiny S3 and so far love it. The one thing however that disapoints me is the quality of camera. I had an iP4s before this phone and I must say that it took much much better quality pics than S3 especially in low light situations. The difference in quality cannot be unseen, the pics are supernoisy even without zooming. So I'm asking, is it possible that I maybe got a defective camera on my phone? This fact really annoys me because I tend to use camera on my phone quite often.
I took this the other day - would you sat it is poorer quality that what your iPhone shot?
(Yes I am a greedy pig!)

theres been huge comparisons between the 2 cameras. Theres a thread on here that compares them in a bunch of different conditions and if i'm not mistaken the S3 edged out the 4s (sorry i dont have time to link it right now) .
GSMarena did a camera test S3 vs 4S vs OneX vs PureView and the results were (from best to worst) Pureview, S3, 4S, OneX
I guess it just depends on the way you take the pics but i have heard of some models shipping with bad camera modules... Could u post some pics maybe so that we have a comparison
Check the "pictures taken with your S3" thread.. if yours isn't taking pictures as well as the pics in that thread you may have a faulty camera. I've been nothing but impressed with the camera!

I checked that thread and it really looks like my camera is worse. I'm uploading a picture I took this morning and it really looks mediocre at least. The road is super noisy and the sky looks lie it's finger painted. Plus the overal detail of the buildings and cars is below average from what I seen in current smartphones.
Yeah the road is def way grainy and I see what your talking about

can we have more info on your picture? like iso, etc. i had similiar problems too, but found that with just the right adjustments its still a workable camera
Oh yeah? Well I have iso and everything else set to auto.What settings do you use?

basically i just turned anti shake and auto contrast off. that limits the max iso to 800. then you gotta play around with the scene settings~
Hello. I haven't used the camera much yet but i would have the iso off auto and set as low as possible. Image size at 8mp and quality set to superfine. That would be my starting point. The few photos i've taken so far didn't look rough like the one shown by op. Play with the settings and see if there's an improvement.
Some phones have Sony camera (Perfect, better that iPhone's one), but most phones have Samsung camera (Korean ****)
I was pleasantly surprised about the picture quality my SGS3 produces.
Then again I don't expect too much...
The camera is ok, its only a phone use a camera if u want high quality pics

my camera is fantastic. granted it wont take the place of a standalone. even videos in the house. people are like dude. its so clear. i think they did a great job :good:
the s3 camera is ok. i still think my htc sensation took better quality pictures. the htc sensation camera has more setting options than the s3. i do a lot of photo touching in post for print ads, with photos, using a professional camera but touching up photos from the s3 vs. my old htc sensation, i would have to say that photos taken with the sensation was much better to work with. the s3 is better with video recording. i do plan to shoot a 5min short film with this phone...just cause.

This forum got some good info on the s3 camera firmware, when I got my s3 and took some photos I thought the s3 camera was crap, then when I started reading some of the review and looking at the pictures I thought something must be wrong, I flashed a custom ROM(fox hound 1.4.4 with Franco kernel) its Seemed to have fixed the the problem...

Just got myself one! Will be here monday, Just wondering how the quality is of the front facing camera! Are you happy with it? I recently did have a Nexus S 4G! Will it be way better or?
It's a 2mp. It's a lot better than the nexus s which was like a .3mp if I remember correctly. I'm very happy with the quality

I have no complaints about it honestly. it is about all you could expect from a camera with such a limited lens space! as far as your other phone, I have no idea, sorry bro
Pretty sure 2mp is still the best front facing camera you buy today quality is great in the right lighting

Guys don't know if this is a stupid question but can't we get the 2mp front facing camera to record 720p? I'm asking because the Galaxy S3 has a 2mp front shooter and the nexus has 1.3mp and they both do 720p video capture.
Camera is extremely clear in the front. I love it and all my friends are jealous because their iShits arent as good
So I love this phone, but the camera really bugs me. Haven't had this poor of a camera since my G1. It takes wonderful still images, but anything else just forget about it. I'm hoping a mod comes to some how increase shudder speed, but not even sure that possible. What do you guys think? Is the camera lacking on your Note 2?

Hey guys good news,
ppl from Taiwan report getting 4.2.1 update for their hox+. Seems that we need to wait one more month til the international version will
also get the update. Hopefully all the gaming bugs will be gone finally.
Someone also wrote an article about it here.
nice to hear, hope it will come for international version.

I agree I was a bit underwhelmed when I zoomed the image 1:1, like the post-processing is a bit off and sharpened too much or something.

Indeed when u check it on your phone it looks good.
But if you put it on a large screen or zoom in its terrible
Reduce the exposure by a notch or two and play with the sharpness, its way over exposed on auto to increase brightness.
Its not to rocket science just play with the settings.
My hox takes really good quality photos.

I personally agree with everyone else. I've tried all settings.
The desire hd, sensation and one X are far superior. I'm really hoping a software update fixes it soon.

Sorry quys but playing with settings didn't make any effect. I tried them before it was adviced. Camera (soft I hope) sucks! And hope that 4.2 update fix it in anyway... Anybody from Taiwan with update received? Any comment on that?

Compared to other high end mobiles of course.
GS3 and iPhone5 have superior auto settings but not by much.
The hox and hox+ and DNA use the same software now with jb and have the same back camera hardware...
I highly doubt they have different image chips.
Not all situations can use the same settings, experiment.

Thanks for the info
I was able to take good shots at my camera. a good lighting is the key to a better photos. if you have a bad lighting even with a point and shoot you cant get a good photo. also try pixlr express to edit your image sometimes you have to do some effort too to improve your images.
Figured I would start a thread pertaining to our cameras to see what kind of pictures people are taking, and to see how everyone likes the camera.

Same for me. The pics look fine on the camera but zoomed in or on a PC they all look grainy.
Could it be a setting, maybe they are too big and don't translate well on lower res?

SPRINT HTC ONE VS AT&T LG OPTIMUS G (Mini review)(Comparison Pics & Benchmark Scores)
I recently had to switch carriers so I purchased a HTC one for sprint and I still have my OG-E970 unlocked for T-Mobile
after leaving AT&T.
Honestly I still prefer my Optimus G as of my first week with the HTC One .The boom sound that they made a big stink about is not even that loud as they made it out to seem.Comparing the sound to quality is the thing.The optimus g is louder but the clarity of the boom sound is what makes it better and clear when it comes down to music and videos.I prefer the features of q-slide and quick memo compared to the new blink feed and other HTC apps.Graphic wise I really don't see a big difference.The highest brightness level of the HTC one is a little more then half of what the Optimus G can produce with brightness.The 1080 screen compared to the OG is more clear but not much of a difference to the naked eye.
Both get hot after playing video games and watching movies because of the quad-core chips.
The OG has a slot for micro sd which is great but 32g with the HTC One is fine for me.
CAMERA:The HTC is the better camera front and back but the 4mp(ultrapixel) is useless for anything past social network sharing while the 8mp for the OG is good for printing pictures.You also lose quality when you zoom into pictures with the HTC One but fantastic with low lighting.
This is my mini review,If anyone has any questions about the phones compared to each other.Just ask
And no I'm not abandoning my OG and this is not a goodbye post.Just a phone geek with more then one phone and against the mediocre fame of Samsung.And as a fan of both LG OG and the HTC One for different reasons,Let me ask you.Will we ever get to see a video comparison of these phones on YouTube?Not with Samsung and Apple running around town.:what:
This is purely my opinion for anyone considering to troll.

Not in terms of specs, or popularity, but which is more stable and fluid for everyday use?

Considering I only had the HTC One for only a week,there's possibly shortcuts I haven't figured out for daily use but I take many pictures with both phones and quick capture is better with the HTC for multi shots.For multi tasking when I watch movies and YouTube videos and I wanna text at the same time,OG is great for that.Both is terrific for playing apps since both screens are both 4.7 in screens.But to answer your question.The optimus G for multitasking when your bored or at work and The HTC for pictures and movies because of the boom sound speakers.So daily use would be the Optimus G (solely my opinion)

4mp is only good for social media purposes?
Come on....even your full HD TV is only just 2mp regardless of size and at 60 inches you're probably going to be standing a few feet back and still be amazed at how sharp the picture is!
HTC is not dumb to put a smaller MP count camera...it's the size of the pixels that matter when it comes to quality!
Granted 6mp would have been nicer for cropping purposes...

Obviously if you exceed 100%. But at 6mp you can print poster size no problem.
I have a 5DMII and when I zoom past 100%, even the 21mp image looks crappy. I stopped pixel peeping a while ago when I realized I would never print past 16x24.
